The Warning

I recorded this song for my album “Embers” with no thoughts of releasing a single. However, I was experimenting with the mix and found there were two very different versions of the song “The Lighthouse” that I really wanted to share but there was only room on the album for one. I thought that the more chilled out, strings-laden version fitted well on the album so I renamed this darker/rockier version “The Warning” and released it as a single. It features Paul McShane on lead guitar (including Ebow parts) with me taking on all the other parts and the mixing. The single was released on 5th August 2016 and has been played on Amazing Radio.

Heartbreak takes many forms in the music world. It’s one of the most common inspirations for songwriting out there, which also makes it one of the most difficult to make sound original. The Scottish musician Andy Craig has put forth a fresh take on the theme with his single “The Warning.” The lead single from Craig’s forthcoming album Embers finds the singer-songwriter admitting mistake in a relationship, with his words set against a lush musical pad of guitars and synths…The standout element on “The Warning” is Craig’s lyrics…Craig’s creative perspective on a broken romance, combined with his engaging songwriting and production work, make “The Warning” a worthwhile listen.
